“Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Drink the Wild Air winter/spring youth writing retreat is a great time to reconnect with the WordsWorth community, make new friends, tell and create stories, and, most importantly, write! Time will be spent outdoors so we can burn extra energy and drink in that wild air!

Sadie has decided that even though there technically isn’t enough time in each day to do everything they want to do, they are going to try to continue learning interesting facts, watching anime, playing as many Legend of Zelda games they can get their hands on, and teaching their cat to play fetch.
Stay awesome and weird <3
